Low Density with High Stiffness and Strength Ideal for Replacing Metals
With a substantial boost in modulus, these compounds have yet another reason to compete with metals.

Using a variety of metallic fibers and
particles, these compounds have densities
similar to traditional metals, while offering
design and processing flexibility because of the
polymer matrix, which can be extruded, molded,
calendered, or thermoformed into the final
desired shape .
These materials have been formulated using select metallic
fillers and engineered thermoplastic resins to have densities similar to actual metals, while also providing the
design flexibility and processing ease of conventional thermoplastics.
It is used to prevent metal
or unmelted pellets from entering the mold .
